The 2012 ALD Automotive / Shell FuelSave MPG Marathon takes place on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th October. Among the event’s sponsors is the Energy Saving Trust (EST), which is funded by the Department for Transport and recently announced a major initiative to promote its own Smarter Driving Programme, which promises fuel savings of up to 15%.

MPG Marathon event organiser, Ross Durkin, said: ‘It will be a great honour to welcome Norman Baker as our guest of honour for the MPG Marathon awards presentation. His enthusiastic support for green transport initiatives in both the consumer and fleet sectors is well documented and we are delighted to receive his support for the 2012 MPG Marathon.’
